Research to see why 2014 model is desirable?
2014 construction build quality, hull strength, FWD seating, door, & stairs to the bow.
We planned to own it for many years, which explains the upgrades, but for personal reasons we must sell.
***THINGS TO NOTE***
**You will love how the anchoring system guides everything below, keeping the bow and trampoline clear at all times.
**The L44 has raised door steps which keeps water and dirt out, and makes rinsing nice - for those who like a clean boat.
**High clearance: huge difference in large waves; no pounding or following sea like lower clearance cats.
**The Leopard davit system makes dinghy handling and boarding easy & safe.
**This L44 has the BULLET-PROOF SD60 saildrives (reconditioned in 2025).
**Yanmar 3JH5E diesels run smooth, reliable, and efficient (range is amazing).
**The L44 is EXTREMELY SPACIOUS. You have to VIEW IN PERSON to appreciate this.
**Roomy helm area allows several to enjoy it while cruising. This may not seem important, but when cruising, it makes a wonderful difference.
**Excellent storage capacity.
**DARK WOOD INTERIOR** never looks dated or cheap.
**New Rocna Vulcan 70lb anchor
I can't say enough about this L44, it is such a stable, safe vessel & handles heavy weather extremely well. It is a true privilege to cruise on.
With the forward door and single-level deck, Kids & guests intuitively remain in safe zones (we had grandchildren on the boat, age 5, no problem).
The 4 cabin layout is great for family and friends and provides lots of extra space.
Fellow cruisers would meet on our L44 most times, due to extra room.
